Blue Sky Bulletin Newsletter, UNDP Mongolia | 1997 - 1999
Publisher: UNDP Mongolia Communications Office
Editor: David South

The Blue Sky Bulletin was the internal newsletter of UNDP's Partnership for Progress in Mongolia. Launched in the middle of a major crisis in 1997, the newsletter became a critical resource on developments in Mongolia and has been cited in many books and other publications about this period.
It was distributed around the world via email and in hard copy to subscribers and was posted on the UN Mongolia Development Web Portal (www.un-mongolia.mn). The bilingual newsletter (English/Mongolian) broke new ground by publishing quality Mongolian development data, news and stories, rather than just presenting the usual grip-and-grin vanity photos of various development actors posing for handshakes. This proved especially useful for journalists, authors and scholars seeking to cover Mongolia's late 1990s development challenges.
